Keep the Fridge and Pantry Stocked

I feel like Kevin and I have done a good job of both monitoring the kids and helping them monitor themselves so that when they’re off from school eating doesn’t become some free-for-all that never has a start and stop time to it.

Even so, we always go through so much food and so many drinks when the kids are home for the break.

Sometimes, I forget how much more food we need when they’re home all day versus being in school with packed lunches in tow and very structured eating times.

Unless we have a specific activity planned for baking or candy making, I don’t really prepare food for the kids when they’re home on break outside of meal times.

They’re all old enough to self-serve and they’re pretty good about knowing our snacking expectations.
